These bars were delicious!! I baked the bottom crust first for about 12 mins and that helped keep the bars together. I also added cinnamon to the apples like other reviewers had suggested which was a nice touch :) The caramels were a little tricky but I put them in a saucepan on low heat with a little water(since I didnt have milk) and kept stirring so they wouldnt stick, then drizzled it on the apples. The only thing I would change is probably eliminating the salt all together. I could kind of taste it in the bars and it just wasnt my preference. Overall, the bars turned out great and I'd definitely make them again :)
